Making a bumper?

Post by tdesws »

Hello, has anyone tried making front bumper from fiber glass or something else? Maybe you have a step-by-step guide with pictures, video about making or something?

It'd probably be easier starting with a stock bumper, then cutting bits out, filling other bits in. Having it be the correct shape to fit the hoodline/fenders/headlights might be difficult otherwise.
